VFR owners' thread, for VFRPS members and prospective members

[Swoop]

Me too! As an avid VFR supporter and enthusiast I would like to submit my application for membership. - 1993 VFR400R NC30.

My partner also owns a VFR800. It is bright yellow but we wont hold that against him

A DOUBLE VFR houehold! Excellent! I will put a gold star by your membership numbers!
Welcome aboard!

excuse me LOL

You have evidence of another person apart from myself, who has been referring to the VFRPS for some considerable time?

Whilst we're creating our own club positions, I deem myself the Mega-uber-turbo Grand Supreme Leader of the VFRPS. I may not own one yet but my heart is in the right place

Application denied. Please obtain a VFR and then re-apply.

i'll be chief bourbon drinker if the position isn't already taken?

Unless there are any objections from other members, I see no problem with this.

okay, i'll be northland leader, who also doesN'T have one, but who's neighbour used to.

Sorry. Enthusiasm is one thing, actual ownership of a VFR is the crux of the matter.
Tradme is your friend.

anybody who bids on the 700 will be dealt with quickly and harshly by the way

i don't necessarily want it - i just want to know i can have it as cheap as possible if i decide i do...i think thats reasonable

thank you for your time, carry on

Yod, if u get 700, how much for your NC21>? Super harsh swoop, can we be assoc.? and yeah tardme is my friend!

[Coyote]

it was, till he sold it. not my neighbour anymore lol. my dad doesn't want me to get a VFR now. just like i wasnt allowed a CBR400RR, do the NC21's go anything like them? yo coyote, how rough are your RG150s?

Shoo you vulture, you ain't getting one of them Streetstockers have been waiting for me to give up the project one and my running one since I'm upgrading, but I'm enjoying the project (and I will sell eventually) and I want to keep the running one. It's too good to sell for what it's worth

I thought the club also included future/hopeful owners and fans of this range of machines? Kiwibiker does not excluded those without bikes from joining. The VFRPS is sounding very elistist right now, quite dissapointing really

Can't be a member who preserves the good name of VFR, without having one.
Associate membership... I like this idea. Perhaps available to those who have placed bids in an auction to obtain the nirvana of motorcycling... a VFR!
This proposition will be discussed at committee level.

Good to see that Marks bike is being assembled at the moment!

See above.
Associate membership to those who demonstrate an active pursuit to ownership. Full membership to owners. Can't be fairer than that. We do not intend to be "snobs", merely supporting the marque and doing our best to perpetuate the wonderous VFR machine.

That sounds better. Much in the same way as someone who likes bikes isn't yet a biker untill they ride

Still waiting eagerly for those photos I'm meant to be getting of that RVF. Just wondering if you think this is a good deal: 1995 RVF400, 46000km's, needs some plastic welding and new paint, left footpeg bent in (think I can fix that easily, do it all the time on the RG), had the ignition pulled out when it was stolen (and recovered, this isn't a stolen bike ) and theres some other broken parts but seller has replacements ready to be installed so everything is there, it needs re-vinning, and a reputable member of Kiwibiker test rode it and thinks it's sweet. I've been told the seller wants around $5000 but haven't had a price confirmed

Will tootle off and have a squizz on tardme at it.(it IS on tardme???)

I bought my bike sight unseen off of tardme. Just phoned a local (to the seller) bikeshop and asked them to do an appraisal on it. They couldn't find any faults.
Reg/rec, and battery clapped out shortly after I bought it, but things are difficult to diagnose and we all take a chance when purchasing older machines.
Hopefully it will all work out in the end for you.

[CM2005]

did you see the two NC30's for $3000 buynow?

[skidMark]

theres a company that does it "biketranz" from memory, i think it would be like 150 bucks ish? they stick it in a truck, all they do is ship bikes, so the truck has all the tie down points etc.

ring them up for a price.

yeah i've talked to them before but they quoted me $340 for dunedin to palmy and this is even further so it'd be pushing $400 i think....probably no more expensive to fly down and ride it back including gas and ferry ticket
